I have observed some posts by Nigerians in this forum which, in my opinion, are too sensitive to be posted for non-Nigerians to see. One of such posts is this:
Bad government instigate more crimeI understand that we, as Nigerians, have our challenges as a country and we also have our bad sides as well, but believe me when I say this: corruption and scams are not only peculiar to Nigeria.
We should consider the implications of certain topics we raise about us on this space. The world already holds unjustifiable stereotypes about us as Nigerians, thinking we are all scammers. Discussions like this coming from us will further validate their negative perception about us. You can imagine if the forum members stop dealing with Nigerians because of one scam story from a bad egg.
Let's not spoil the collective reputation of Nigerians in this forum with what we post or do.
Let's not wash our dirty linen in public.
Some topics should be limited to the Nigerian local board.
I agree with you. When someone exposes their negative aspects, it not only reflects on the information but also on the ethnic identity. Many non-Nigerians have the misconception that Nigerians are scammers, corrupt and such comments reinforce their misconception. Presenting ourselves in an international platform like this forum in a way that does not damage the national image.
